This is n city of 125,090 popula

count of ignorance, prejudice aim
self-interest (with some, one; and
with iany, probably all combined)
the place is very hostile to the Alii,

thousand indhit place (and tho same
will apply to all largo eities) has re
alized the objects and inagnilud of
this sreat movement. But their
eyes have to ome extent been open
ed. The newspapers here had pre
pared, before fie delegates arrived,
a lot of caricatures with which to
ridicule the appearance of th 4,hay
seeders." But wht-n the body as
sembled and the reporters saw a fine
lot of solid, brainy and determined
men, het were taken back entirely.
So, instead of ridiculing tha body in
a spirit of contempt, they began to
abuse and misrepresent them in a

At a dinner recently given the
raembcis of the press In !New York
a journalist was called upon to reply
to the toast "An Independent Press."
Knowing we have no independent
press among the powerful papers of
the nation, he for a long time refus
ed to repiv, but being iusisted on to
do so, said :
"There is no such a thing in Amer
ica as an indepei dent press, unless
it .s out in the country towns. You
are all slaves. You know it and
know it. There is not one of you
who daie express an honest opinion.
If you express it you know before
hand that It will not appear in print.
I am paid $150 a week for keeping
honest opinins out of the papers I
am connected with. Others of you
aro paid similar salaries for doing
similar things. If I should allow
honest opinions to be printed in one
issue of my pater, like Othello, my
occupation would be pone. The
man who would be so foolish as to
write honest opinions would be" out
on the street "looking for another
job. The business of leading journ
alists is to distort the truth, to be
outright, to pervrt, to villify, to
fawn at the leet of mammon, and
to sell his country and his race for
his daily bread, or for what is about
the same, his salary. You know
this, and 1 know it and what foole
ry to be toasting an independent
press ? We are the tools and vessels
of rich men behind the screens, we
are jumping jacks. They pull the
string and we dance. Our time, our
talent, our possibilities are all the
property of other men. We are in
tellectual prostitutes."
How shocking and alarming is the
above admission I Yet how many
of our State papers, that ought to be
aud some that intend to be defend
ers of the people's rights, copy and
ndoise and take their ideas from
the editorial of some of the big pa
pers that are dictated by and pub

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
During the late session of tho Su
preme Council of the National Far
mers' Alliance and Industrial Union
the following resolution was outr;l
by Mtrion Butler of Jforth Candid
and unanimously adopted :
liesolved, That a committee rua-f
sisting of ouo delegate from each
cotton State be appointed to take
under consideration ami if jKvsdbh
formulate some plan by which the
world's greatest producers of th
South's greatest staple, cotton, may
! aIe to some extent at lcat V
regulate the quantity, consumption,
and marketing time and price of
aid crop.
By motion the committee war
made a standing one to make a fiiKi?
report at the next annual meeting.
Several resolutions ralative to acre
age, maiketiug, etc., were introdiu:
ed by L. F. Livingston, of Oeoigi?.;
It. F. ltogers, of Florida, and others.
The tommP.tee madea partial report
by offering as a substitute the ft 1
lowing reo'utions :
report of cotton committee.
Whereas, The cotton growers of
the South aro greatly v. ppresstfd lie
cause of the depressed price of the
raw material, caused, in a measure,
from combines and speculations in
in futures, but mainly from an un
just, oppressive and discnmuiat;:!
linancial system and a high protec
tive tiriff on manufactured cotton
materials; and
Whereas, It is now alleged by
speculators and combines that over-
ptoduction is the prune eauso ot de
pression in prices, when, in h'.ct, we
have reason to know that the t?:iu.
is not over-pioduction, but imdr-
consumplion caused uy inability o.
buy resulting from advanced prices
of manufactured articles of cotton
and other causes as stated above; and
Whereas, It has been recommenc
ed by members of the Farmers' Al
liance in several Stats in the cott n
belt, that the acreage be decreased
one-third by the growers, and know
ing, as we do, that the price of vhe
raw material cannot be affected by
the loyal Alliancemen alone of tiie
many thousand growers aecveji-su--
their acreage, while, in fact, the e;-
'ort to reduce thequantity would 'ac
tuate thousands of gro er.s to in
crease their acreage in cotton;
Therefore, as one of the remedies
o secure an advanced price in raw
cott n material by cheapening the
manufactured products, aud thereby
increase the ability of the masses to
consume; be it
Besolved, That the AationAl Far
mers' Alliance and Industrial Union,
representing tne best interests of the
producers and consumers of Ameri
ca alike, do respect! ully ask tfi it
Congress entirely relieve mam,' Lec
tured articles ot cotton from any
tariff duty whatever, and place tne
same on tne iree list 01 American
products.
Resolved, That a copy ot ttipso
resolutions be certified to the speak
er of the House of Representatives
and president of the Senate ot the
Senate of th fifty-secomd Congress
of America, dulv attested by the
President and Secretary of the Na
tional Farmers' Alliance and Indus
trial Union under seal ofthc supreme

deceived. Think of the ir famy of a lie
like that from Kansas, wtich said that
thePeople'8 party had gone to pieces
when it cast a vote 10 per cent, larger
than last year, when it had the assistance
of Democratic support! The great weak
ness of the independent movement to
day is the fact that it has not adequate
and honest newspaper representation.
This is a fault which must be remedied.
When our own members are sometimes
deceived by the enemy's malicious lies,
it is not to be wondered that the outside
public believes all that is said of us.
.
This point of newspaper representa
tion was one more than any other brought
to the front by the ablest leaders at In
dianapolis. It is a danger which must
be eliminated, aud it can be. I am no
believer in harsh methods, but one de
mand the people have the right to make
nf thfl twpks that ia truthfulness. It is
Kad AUIaa LMaratnr.
You cannot be a good Alliance man so
long as you refuse to patronise papers
advocating that cause, and rend only the
arguments of enemies of our organisa
tion. In rpite of everything your miud
will get warped and prejudiced, for the
literature that a man reads leaves an
indelible Impress upon him. Now, sop
pose that a minister of God discarded
the Bible and read only the works of
Voltaire and fom Paine Would you
consider him a proper person in the pul
pit? By no means, for he would only
hear the arguments against tae noiy
cause he is elected to further. It is this
wav with an Alliance man. If he hoars
only the argument derogatory to his
order, he cannot be a loyal and consist
ent member. It is both mmaturaland
unraasonabla.
Of course we do not protest against
our members reading opposition papers,
for they are intelligent, and there fs no
danger of their being ehamged pttmaea,
however, that they also study our side.
Tint oven the most enlightened and
brainiest men will be warped if they
hear only one side of soy cause. Our
well know thh. and are now
flooding the state with free papers, ridi
culing the Alliance demands ana anus
ing our leaders. Only too many farmers

up tremendous collections of official rec
